In another move signalling the COVID-19 pandemic is well and truly over, the CDC is stopping its daily reporting of COVID cases, switching to a weekly report similar to the “FluView” reports that are issued during the flu season (which is rapidly approaching).
In an update regarding its coronavirus data and surveillance, the CDC said it was transitioning from daily to weekly reports to allow for more “flexibility” and to reduce the burden on state and local governments. The change in case reporting will take place on Oct. 20.
“Data processing cutoffs for jurisdictions will be every Wednesday at 10AM ET for line level case and death data, and Wednesday at 5PM ET for aggregate case and death data,” the CDC stated.
Given Secretary Becerra’s assurances to Big Pharma and their state-level minions that he would give them a 60 day heads up if the PHE declaration were not going to be extended, an advance notice that had not been received as of mid-August, the expectation is that he will extend the emergency until January 11.
Declaring COVID to be an ongoing Public Health Emergency will be quite at odds with the CDC’s easing of the reporting burden regarding COVID. Is there really an emergency if the CDC doesn’t think there is?
I think the CDC believes there is an emergency, but that emergency has to be with them getting caught lying and creating data crimes!!
Just kidding, nobody in power cares as long as the money spigot is left on---these are trying times with inflation and that second ski chalet for the mistress's housekeeper's poodle in Switzerland isn't going to buy itself.
